How can I activate full screen photo viewing on Facebook with Firefox as the browser?

I recently was made aware that Firefox, along with Chrome, supports full screen viewing of photos on Facebook. It worked great on Chrome up until about three days ago, and now all images I try to look at in Full Screen mode are made so huge, I have to scroll to see the whole thing, or use the CTRL + - three times to make it fit, and then everything else after I'm done looking at the photo is so small I have to use CTRL + + to get things big enough to view. But that very well could be a Chrome problem. My question for this forum is why the Full Screen Viewing option is not available on my Firefox browser, which has been recently updated to the most current version available? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply cor-el, but I don't think you understood the question. No matter, because now the full screen viewing of photos in Facebook is now working while using Firefox. Still doesn't work with Chrome like it did and should, so now I will be using Firefox instead. :)
